India have expressed concern over Turkey’s military presence in Syria, stating their actions could undermine the region’s stability.

Speaking on Thursday, the Ministry of External Affairs said it was "deeply concerned" over the "unilateral military offensive" by Turkey in north-eastern Syria.

Reacting to the development, the Ministry of External Affairs said: "We are deeply concerned at the unilateral military offensive by Turkey in northeast Syria.

"We call upon Turkey to exercise restraint and respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Syria. We urge the peaceful settlement of all issues through dialogue and discussion."
